I recently exchanged my silent spinner (SS) for a CSW after hearing horror stories about owners finding blood in their wheels from ripped claws.
I love the design and how quietly it spins but I'm having issues with it moving across the cage... I'm not sure if he's pushing it or if it's moving from the vibrations as he runs, but this causes it to start banging against the cage, which is just as noisy and disruptive as a squeaky wheel. I don't want to take it out or put the SS back in, but I just can't sleep at night with it doing this and I'm normally a heavy sleeper
I originally had it stood his litter tray to try and keep the wheel stable, but because the legs are so thick I can't weigh it down with litter like I was doing with the SS, so it rocks in the tray which causes the glass doors to rattle- also noisy...
Has anyone had a problem with their wheel shifting about at night and please tell me if you found a solution to secure it safely... I have bought a slip proof mat to put down under his finacard substrate, so I've got my fingers crossed that will stop the wheel shifting... but in case that fails, any advice would be much appreciated.
